grandmother clock

i just inherited a mason and sullivan grandmother clock. i cant seem to get the clock to work. i can make it chime by moving the hands mt self but the pendulim wont stay swinging.i leveled the clock and put the wieghts on with the 2 heaviest on the chimes and the lightest on the clock movement any suggestins on what to do?

sounds like almost the same clock my clock front slides off also it ws made in approx 1963 by what the plans say (yes i have the origanal plans) I have one lite weight and two heavy weights i am juggling them around. what do you mean by even tick tock sound and wher would i shim ? thanks for the quick responce and any future help would be great

thanks for the reply my clock has chains and i will try to get the tick tock right.i found a pro clock repairman down the street ,so i think i will let him have a look at it.it hasnt run in about 10 yrs.it sat in my aunts house for that long so some tlc might be what the doc ordered
